Therapy is a powerful tool that can help individuals in so many ways! From improving mental health to gaining new insights and perspectives, therapy has the potential to transform lives. I understand that seeking therapy can be a difficult decision, but please know that it's a brave step towards improving your well-being. I want you to know that therapy can offer a safe and supportive space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. It's a powerful way to gain insight into yourself and develop coping strategies to overcome challenges. I can provide services in English and Spanish.

I am proud to have earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Northeastern Illinois University. During my time there, I worked closely with students from low-income families. helping them develop healthy relationships, building self-esteem, and honing their problem-solving skills. 

Later, I pursued a Master's degree in Couples and Family Counseling from the same university. OIgained a deeper understanding of the complexities of family relationships. During my time in the program, I completed an internship at a nonprofit community mental health organization. There, I provided outpatient therapy to families and couples, and honed my therapeutic skills.

Through this role my role as a crisis therapist, I helped young people in crisis by providing them with the support and guidance they needed to overcome their challenges. I found working with teens and children a very regarding experience.
